* Download the latest Android Studio stable build. * If you are running the app for the first time, Android Studio will ask you to install the Gradle dependencies. * If you are a new contributor to open-source, we recommend you read our Setup Guidelines * In Android Studio, make sure to select OFF as the default flavor for Open Food Facts (OBF is Open Beauty Facts, OPF - Open Products Facts, OPFF - Open Pet Food Facts) * You should be able to install Open Food Facts on your phone using an USB cable, or run it in an emulator. * The package name on the Play Store is org.openfoodfacts.scanner. For historic reasons, it's openfoodfacts.github.scrachx.openfood in the code and on F-Droid. |
